    Someone else told me this. I'll give it a shot. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Did you just squirt it on them or actually inject them with a hypodermic needle?

    boiled water worked great for me.

    I actually just used hot tap water and a toothbrush on the rock that had the problems and just scrubbed the area with hot water. havent seen any more since then

    15 peppermints in a 20 gallon fuge with a ton of aiptasia = aiptasia gone overnight.
    5 peppermints in a 150 gallon tank with a few aiptasia = aiptasia gone in a few weeks.

    kill all the aiptasia that you can find and introduce several peppermints (with the lights out so they can work without getting eaten).

    This is what I did. I put at least 20 peps in my 175G. This was almost two months ago.
